silver lining (stripped)

Still feels odd coming to this room The air still carries the scent of you But I play the piano like I always do Like I did those days I was here with you Opened the door and you'd crack a smile Always happy to have me coming by Promised you that I'd stay a while It was never long 'til you said good night Empty bed and clouded minds It's emptiness you leave behind And I hope you're alright Our broken hearts will heal with time And we'll be fine, no Not for now But we gotta try You would want us to quit the hiding It'll only hurt more if I cry again Because I know it was you deciding I'll keep looking for the silver lining You always liked when I scratched your head Should have done that more in retrospect Cause you closed your eyes and, oh, you leaned back You looked so happy and I'm so glad Your smile was still something you could wear And I'm grateful for these moments that we shared Looking back you were always there Running your fingers through my hair Empty bed and clouded minds It's emptiness you leave behind And I hope you're alright Our broken hearts will heal with time And we'll be fine, no Not for now But we gotta try You would want us to quit the hiding It'll only hurt more if I cry again Because I know it was you deciding I'll keep looking for the silver lining The medicine took the best of you And you told me "darling, I am through" I can't say you left without a fight Just wish I'd known you meant goodbye when you said good night And you're alright Broken hearts will heal with time And we'll be fine Not for now But we gotta try You would want us to quit the hiding It'll only hurt more if I cry again Because I know it was you deciding I'll keep looking for the silver lining
